CWN Editor's Note: A lay Catholic leader was among ten people arrested in the latest crackdown on democracy activists in Hong Kong.
Bobo Yip, the former chairwoman of the justice-and-peace commission for the Hong Kong diocese, was charged with violation of national security, because of her involvement with a fund set up to provide legal support for democracy activists.
